Grease Review Summary

Everybody knows Grease is the word in musicals and the fact this film is the most successful musical film of all time indicates that. Set in the 50's, complete with leather-clad tough guys and bobby socks wearing dolls in long skirts, Grease returns us to an era of more innocence and, apparently, catchier tunes. With music by the Bee Gees and Frankie Vali, among others, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olssen (Olivia Newton-John) meet despite being from opposite sides of the track and begin a whirlwind romance. Reviewers attribute the movie's timeless appeal to a "cast... composed of great stars and a superb supporting cast with lots of musical fun" and because "Grease is a wonderful love story, and a wonderful, fun, and memorable musical.". 30 years later, all agree Grease, it's got groove, it's got feeling.

This is my favorite movie of all time.  I could watch it everyday and no matter what, it just makes me feel good.  I know every song by heart and I feel like I live in the life of the characters because I love watching them.  John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are superb in their roles, not only as actors but as singers too.  Travel back in time to the high school era of the 1950s where all the guys wanted to be cool and the girls were there to cause them to swoon.  Enter the senior class of Rydell high school lead by the two main clicks of the cool guys of the Tbirds and the hip chicks...

I love to sing and I love to dance so when you put those two together in a movie then I am probably going to enjoy it.  Last night and today the Family channel has been airing a Grease marathon with Grease and Grease 2.  I have them both on VHS so I can watch them any time I want but right now as I type this I am listening to it play in the background.

Grease will probably be a musical that goes down in history as one of the all time best along with the original Hairspray with Ricki Lake.  Olivia Newton-John plays the innocent and naïve Sandy.  I believe this movie released in 1977 is what...

I am actually surprised there are not more reviews for Grease here. Grease came out when I was about 12 or 13 years old.  At that age I thought it was one of the best movies that I had ever seen.  I am sure most women my age remember playing the album and singing pretending they were Sandra Dee singing to Danny, or what ever boy they happened to like at that time.  To this day I could sing every song on that album and I know every word.

Grease was a movie released in the 70 but was based in the 50's.  Olivia Newton John played the virginal sweeet Sandra Dee.  John Travolta played Danny the...

This movie is the best. I am a collecting of anything that has to do with this movie. I can watch it over and over again with it never getting dull or boring. I love the music lyrics and the movement that they have chosen for each song. The setting is great as well and the 50's dress at high school. I wish I lived back in those days. It looked like so much fun with the bon fire and such. WOW!!! I just cant get enough of Sandy and when she tried to win him back with that leather on.. WOW!! Where can I get me one of those outfits. Great family movie.. I watch it over and over.. Cant enough of GREASE!!... read full review »

With Christmas coming, I have DVD's on the brain especially since Santa might bring me one or two. This DVD is so cool it has a leather jacket cover. It's Grease! The jacket even has the little Grease and T-Birds logos on it. It was the first DVD I bought after I got a DVD player last Christmas. Of course, the songs and actors are great, but the DVD extras add something special.

This is the "Rockin' Rydell Edition". My favorite extra is the Grease 25th anniversary party where most of the cast is there including John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. There are red carpet interviews, and the cast...

 a my child hood days are remembered were i would sit by my cousins sofa her grease video tape on the TV and us enacting the whole scene were Danny is shocked to find how sandy has changed which by the way  put a whole lot of musical loving into my brain and from then till now i still love  this flick. a great movie to watch when your feeling for something classic or even something to cry about since the story of Danny and sandy is one that touches the hearts of millions who watch this film which is a cult classic and such a heart warm family and personal film for any teen , child , and or adult... read full review »

One of the best musicals around!  I've seen this movie so many times and still love it! I'd recommend this movie to any one that likes romance, comedy and good music.  Not only do I have the DVD, but also the soundtrack on CD.  AWESOME!

Having grown up in the 50's and 60's, this movie is one of the classics that I can watch over and over.  The singing is great, the dancing energetic, and the story line one of the best.  When us "baby boomers" talk about the "good ol days", this is how some of us dream it could've been.  I remember a couple of "Danny's" back in the day!

Grease is my favorite movie of all. I really do believe that it is a good movie for adolescents because of the issues that they deal with my have come from the 50's-70's era, but bottom line is, they are the same issues now adays, just more publicly pronounced. Love, friends, sex, pregnancy, and school.  It is an added bonus that I love music. Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta are much better actors today because of this film. It opened up an oppurtunity for the both of them to show what they've got! Dance, sing, & acting.

I watch this movie whenever I get a chance. I absolutley love it!!...

i love this movie.

Isn't it funny that they look really old for high school stuudents??? i read somewhere that the youngest actor in the film was John Travolta and i think he was 24 at the time.

i love John Travolta in this film.  to me it is the best John Travolta movie i ever saw. i love the songs in the movie and  the dancing was great.

i don't really like musical but after seeing this particular one, made me love musicals.

Grease is one of those guilty pleasure musicals for me. I'm not sure I agree with the ultimate message of changing yourself for someone else, but maybe it's more that we all have to be open to compromise when dealing with other people.

Sandy and Danny have a romantic start, and then a bumpy ride when they get back to school and their peers. In the end, love wins!

There are so many great memorable songs in this movie. Grease Lightning and We Go Together are two of my favorites.

I highly recommend seeing this movie at least once!

GREASE!!! No other movie can beat it and no remake could top it. Grease is one of my favorite movies of all time and watch it over and over and sing every word to every song. Grease is an upbeat movie/musical about a girl(sandy) and a boy(danny) who meet during there summer vacation. they meet again at rydell high and find that they live to completley differant life styles. through friends, dancing and singing they find away to make there differances work.Stars olivia newton john and john travolta as the main characters
